Museum Trip

February 22nd, 2010

There’s something about the joyful psychedelia of Animal Collective that gets us all wide-eyed and giddy (and maybe a little dry-mouthed, but that’s a minor side effect). So you can only imagine how excited we are to let the band guide us through a totally immersive sensory experience at the Guggenheim Museum in New York.

On March 4, Animal Collective and video artist Danny Perez’s sold-out collaborative installation show entitled Transverse Temporal Gyrus transforms the Guggenheim into a magical mystery world of recorded music, original video projections, costumes, and props, all designed to bathe us in “intense abstractions” (read: trip us out). The doors of perception are only open from 9 pm until midnight, but we’re pretty sure the flashbacks will keep us up till dawn.

Sad that you can’t get a ticket to this sold-out mind warp? Animal Collective and Perez have also put together a “visual album” called ODDSAC, which will be touring across America through March. Check out the trailer below.
